How can I set image in textDocumentProxy with custom keyboard extension iOS 8?

Question

How can we set an image behalf of the text?

Following code is to display text in the input view:

[self.textDocumentProxy insertText:[key currentTitle]];

My code of paste board to display the image :

NSData *imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
[pasteBoard setData:imgData forPasteboardType:[UIPasteboardTypeListImage objectAtIndex:0]];
NSString* newStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:imgData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[self.textDocumentProxy insertText:[pasteBoard string]];

I have created a pasteboard with the images just I have to display the images in to input view.

See this picture for the concept :

enter image description here

Note:

I have to select image from keyboard and show in inputview not to copy paste from library.

If anyone know please reply as answer or any suggestion will also acceptable.

Thanks!

How could you convert the NSdata into the string? For my case, it is showing nil when I convert that NSdata into the string. — Ramakrishna, Oct 08 '16 at 06:08

I don't think it's possible to add directly an image from a custom keyboard. A workaround would be to copy the image to the pastboard and paste it in the destination area. (It's not very nice but It's the only way I see actually)

I have get solution for this question use clipboard copy and paste

Code :

UIPasteboard *pasteBoard = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard];
NSData *data = [self.Videoassets objectAtIndex:btn.tag];
NSLog(@"File size is : %.2f MB",(float)data.length/1024.0f/1024.0f);
[pasteBoard setData:data forPasteboardType:@"public.mpeg-4"];
